I understand that there are time restraints on the experience but they completely left out a lot of very important safety information. 4 out of 7 of my group left with injuries that could have been avoided and really effected the rest of our vacation. For that I recommend saving this for last on your itinerary. I think the guides need to…”

After the hike, natural waterslides, and rope swing they drove us to get lunch and from there we switched buses to do the bioluminescent kayaking. The moon was so bright it was hard to see the water light up, that is out of their control. However, they did make it possible to see the bioluminescent by covering all our kayaks with big tarps and we were able to experience it that way. Great full day trip experience a MUST to do…”
